Artificial Intelligence as a Mechanism for Enhancing Transparency in Public Procurement
Keywords:
Transparency,Public Procurement,Artificial Intelligence Accountability Oversight Mechanisms
Abstract
Transparency constitutes a fundamental principle in public procurement, given its essential role in entrenching integrity, ensuring equality among economic operators, and safeguarding the sound management of public funds. Artificial intelligence contributes to strengthening this principle through the accurate and rapid processing of data in accordance with unified and objective standards. Moreover, it supports oversight mechanisms in public procurement across its various stages, thereby enhancing accountability and promoting effective control over public spending.
